What’s on sale at Dublin Comic Con?

With the recent release of Fractured Realms, we’re loading up on books for Dublin Comic Con to show off the widest range of comic creators we can. The table will showcase:

The Limit Break Anthologies

We’ll have the first three anthologies on sale – Turning Roads, Down Below, and Fractured Realms. You can pick these up in a special convention deal that comes with a pin, all at a reduced price. And if you fancy just chatting to us about Wish Upon a Star, fire away!

Meouch

While issue three is in production, there’s always time to catch up on the first couple of issues of Meouch! Frankie is either the deadliest cute cat in the world, or the cutest deadly cat in the world. We can’t figure it out. What do you think?

OGNs!

Whether you like espionage thrillers or action adventure stories, we’ve got a book for you. Lens by Gary Moloney and Raquel Kusiak and Mr & Mrs Van Helsing by Aaron Fever and Hugh Madden pack their full stories into neat little packages.

Short Story Collections

We made our start with short stories, and they’re here to stay! For a taste of sci-fi, try Plexus. Fancy some supernatural horror? Life & Death is waiting for you. If you fancy a look at stories inspired by video games, Old Game Plus is booted up. Or maybe you fancy a mix of genres, in which case Gary Moloney’s LB debut Mixtape and our writing trio’s collection Limit Break Presents #1 are perfect for you to dip your toe in to the LB pool.

Prose Fiction

For those who don’t know, Paul is also a novelist and short story writer. Included on our table will be his Black Pages novels and his collection of short stories Tales of the Fantastical.

Prints

For the first time since 2019, Paul has a new range of prints to add to the display. His one guiding rule when designing them is that he has to like the character – somehow that meant putting off working on many of his favourites. The new collection also includes one of his newest obsessions. Spot the devil in the room.

Pins

Our pin range is constantly growing. Added to our previous designs is a pride alternate of of the Plexus Heart. We also have some limited stock of Frankie pins to tie in with Meouch. Grab ’em while they last!
